Sweet Little Angel Lyrics

I've got a sweet little angel
I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, got a sweet little angel
I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, when she spread her wings around me
I get joy in everything

Now if my baby quit me
Well, I do believe I would die
If my, my baby quit me
Well, I do believe I would die
Yes, if you don't love me little angel
Please tell me the reason why

You know, I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty dollar bill
Yes, I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty dollar bill
You know I asked her, let's go out and have a good time
And she bought me a [?]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
